Obviously we're not experts when it comes to National Defence's programs and services, but what I can tell you is that National Defence is working hard to identify unstable people, including people who may suffer from mental health issues as a result of family or personal problems, for example. It won't help the Canadian Forces if you send troops away on a mission who are likely to become chronically ill and may be forced to leave the Canadian Forces. One of the problems force members have talked about is that often they are so eager to go on a mission that they won't necessarily talk about all their problems. There's also a taboo associated with mental health issues, not to mention troops' desire to do their duty as part of these missions.
